Summary
The bill says a mail‑in ballot that was properly mailed, delivered, or dropped off before a voter dies can be counted, unless it has other problems unrelated to the death. It repeals the statutes that currently require such ballots to be thrown out. This change could affect elections by preserving votes that would otherwise be discarded.
